   Depends how experienced you are with painting and how much time you have.
   
   They look like they need a bit of filler also.
   
   maybe cheaper to do them yourself but if you are a perfectionist then i say get someone to do them properly

   study the how to guide.have a go at them yourself,could save you a pound or two.if you make a mess of them or run out of interest then pay the £200 to have them done.
   but then again would you get £200 for them if you were to sell them after refurbing ?

    they are shite looking alloys, even if they werent kurbed. i would either have a go myself at refurbing (just so you no for next time) then sell, or just sell them as they are. figure out which way wud get more £ at the end

    have a go at doing it yourself, they will never look good because they were clearly designed by handicapers, so if you fail you can sell them for atleast 99p no reserve, and buy some new ones. If you succeed you can sell them for a little bit more and still buy new wheels
